So far I've had a great experience, October 1, 2009
This review is from: ANSR Acne Care Starter Kit With Handheld Phototherapy Device And Acne Topicals (Health and Beauty)
I originally purchased this product to have overall healthy skin. I really don't have acne, but my I do have blackheads on my nose and I have extremely blotchy and discolored skin. Occasionally I do get a pimple here and there. I am a 33 year old male. I did about 12 hour of overall research on photo light therapy with LED lights and concluded that it was worth trying. After reviewing the Quasar, Light Stim, and a bunch of other LED skin related devices, the ANSR seemed to be the most reputable product at the best price. The ANSR Acne kit was purchased along with "the Dermawand" and "New Color Ray Photo Rejuvenation Therapy Photon Led Device Anti-aging". The new color photo ray is basically the same technology, it offer 2 colors of LED lights, red and blue. The new color photo ray was only $40 and I was hoping it would be as effective as ANSR, so I could return the ANSR. ANSR proved to be a superior product. Even though it only has 4 diodes, 2 blue and 2 red, the intensity of the diodes are very strong, significantly stronger than New Color Ray. Within a few days I noticed significantly improved skin pigmentation, a decrease in overall pimples, including the blackheads on my nose, and an overall healthy glow and clarity. I also noticed a decrease in pore size and overall wrinkles. My skin is producing collagen in abundance. I did not use any of the topical products that came with the ANSR kit, nor am I going to use it. These products contain Salicylic acid. I have pigmentation problems due too many glycolic acid products and overall topical exfoliants, all recommended by dermatologists. The Dermawand is going to be returned with the new color photo ray. Whether or not you have pimples, the ANSR is a phenomenal product. If you want healthy skin with no side effects or surgery, buy the ANSR. Take into consideration that today is my 14th day with the ANSR device. I also ordered the LED Skin Rejuvenating Light with DPL Therapy . I have not received it yet, it has 164 diodes of red and infrared. As per the LED studies infrared light penetrates the skin at 880 nanometers, red penetrates at around 660 nanometers. I'm interested in this product because it has infrared and it is a panel with the LED diodes, you just have to sit in front of it. It has more overall coverage, and its more expensive. If the makers of ANSR were to have a similar product I would have purchased it too. I place the review of this product once I start using it. Overall, I love the ANSR device and plan on continuing to use it everyday. I have not told anyone, with the exception of my wife, of my use of the ANSR device. Friends and coworkers have told me that I look rested and my skin looks healthier. I hope I don't sound like an infomercial. I am very skeptical of any type of products especially one concerning my skin, which a number of dermatologists have only made worse with chemicals. I hope this review helps you, whomever you are.

Save Face!, October 21, 2009
This review is from: ANSR Acne Care Starter Kit With Handheld Phototherapy Device And Acne Topicals (Health and Beauty)
First, let me start by telling you that I am an Esthetician. Skin care is my world. For a long time I was looking into investing in an at home LED light therapy system. Most cost between $400-600 and need to be plugged into a wall outlet, so they can be difficult to use. I am a firm believer in LED light therapy. I have seen the result's with my own eyes for years, as countless clients come in for weekly sessions. About 2 years ago I was suffering from the worst breakout of my life and my wedding was just 6 months away. I had tried topical products as well as antibiotics and Acne med's but nothing got me the results I wanted. I started using the Beam only and within 6 weeks my skin had completely cleared up and has remained clear ever since. I took about 2 weeks for me to see solid results, although the first time I used it I felt better. The blue light killed the bacteria in my acne while the red light sped up the healing process. This resulted in fewer breakouts that healed faster and were less painful. I did glycolic peels every 3 weeks in conjunction with the daily Beam use and found that despite the long term severity of my Acne I have no pigmentation scarring and very little pock scarring. I continue to use the beam to fade my scars as well as prevent breakouts. I never used the topical treatment products because I have extremely sensitive skin and worried they would be irritating. As for the lack of FDA approval, I would not be concerned because the process for seeking approval is long and tedious and I would bet that the makers of ANSR are in the process of getting the Beam approved. I would recommend this product for people who suffer from consistent inflammatory acne breakouts. They will see the best results. I would also recommend using a nice moisturizer to prevent over drying.

Miracle product, February 20, 2009
This review is from: ANSR Acne Care Starter Kit With Handheld Phototherapy Device And Acne Topicals (Health and Beauty)
First off, I personally do not care that this is not FDA approved. Since when does the FDA look after our well being versus fattening their wallets with harmful drugs that are "FDA approved?" Oh please.
Second, I wasted more money on the Zeno which did absolutely nothing on my hormonal cycstic acne.
I have tried everything, the pill (made me fat but worked for a while), Proactiv (also worked for a couple months), a cocktail or oral anti-biotics, Retina-A (worthless), Tazorac (my face peeled, acne stayed). In other words, I just gave up and decided to spend my money on makeup to hide my acne rather than try to treat it.
I was recommended light therapy once but given the price tag, I never tried it. So when I found this I decided to give it a try. My husband and I could share it and get our money back if it didn't work.
So we've been using it for 5 days now and I totally notice a difference. My discolorations from previous acne have lightened and the number of pimples has significantly decreased. And I don't even use the products, although they are paraben-free which is nice.
I don't get how some some reviewers are saying they are not sure if it works, yet they only have "a few pimples." Um, if you have barely any pimples to begin with why are you using this?????
Bottom line - I consider it a miracle for my face. I don't have to take any drugs and I couldn't be happier!
